Artist Statement

Since 2012, my work is mainly focused towards the socio-cultural and urban photography, addressing issues of different kinds but always from a critical and reflective perspective, showing the structures, processes, changes and problems that are part of social life and human interactions within urban space. I choose mainly subjects of architectural nature to show phenomenons and changes within our urban environment.

The adaptability of humans to their environment in the context of their daily lives , whether through urban agriculture or integration within a neighborhood are some of the subjects in my work.

I am born in Dornbirn, a small city in Austria, and I realized after many years of living in different cities around Europe, how the behavior of people to identify with their urban and social surroundings varies and how important the question of integration and home in my own life but also as a general condition was.

Questions that arise in my work are under other:
How do neighborhoods change after time and what factors change communities?
How do people organize within large cities to be part of a society or groups?
- What is the meaning of home, of feeling part of something bigger than oneself?

I create my work because I am concerned with the development towards a more and more individualized world. The sense of community spirit inside society increases and turns towards a “dog eat dog mentality” Therefore, an important objective of my work is to generate a conscious reflection on the changes of our cities and how these affect our coexistence within urban areas.
